Summer is a GREAT time to spend time with family and create lasting memories. But if you're living on a budget you might be panicking to come up with ideas to keep your little ones entertained. Fear not more. I got you covered.

My sweet baby boy will be two on Wednesday. Everyone warns you how fast it will pass but you NEVER believe them.

I spend a lot of time planning for the future, but I also spend time looking back on previous life events and thinking about how they led us to where we are today. Thinking back to a time in my life when I had two children under two I am richly blessed by the outpouring of love our family received after Isaac was born.

I am pretty sure I have photographed my children everyday since they were born. Well, almost everyday.

If your child is anything like mine they are constantly in motion. I have lots of blurry photos, lots of pictures of the back of my child's head and lots of pictures of him crying because I made him sit still.

Yesterday Issie was a year old. I wanted to share all about his birthday party. Or as I called it, his cowboy budget party!

From invitations to food to gifts, this party only cost us about $45 and it was so much fun! (Note: my mother provided homemade ice cream and sausage balls at no cost to me. Plus she had decorations we used.)

We had a cowboy party over mother's day weekend. We did this because Issie was being dedicated at church and all of our family was already going to be in town.

We are headed into the Easter weekend, which for me is an incredible time of worship and reflection upon the what my Savior has done for me.

It is also a time of family, food and fun. We all want to create memories with our families during special times like this. I want to encourage you that memory making doesn't have to be expensive, in fact it doesn't have to cost anything!
